A complaint about The Dresden Files (books)

[mothoc]

I'm just going to cut this, since it likely contains spoilers of the first three Dresden Files books.

From her point of view, though:

1. Harry is a business acquaintance. They're friendly, but they don't really know each other all that well (at least in the early books).
2. Harry is an armed and dangerous person (even when he's not visibly armed) with weird connections and uncertain loyalties.
3. He's constantly, and I mean *constantly*, withholding information. This tends to get Murphy and her colleagues hurt and/or killed.

Yes, Harry says they're friends, but he's BAD at it.

I can't really say I ever saw Murphy as a bully. Dunno why. When I re-read the books I'll try and figure it out but mostly I just saw Murphy as a determined cop who Harry obviously has a crush on.

Keep reading. The relationship evolves between Dresden and Murphy (and I dont mean as in sexual relationship) and it starts to make a little more sense.
